netfilter: add nf_ipv6_ops hook to fix xt_addrtype with IPv6
Quoting https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812: [ ip6tables -m addrtype ] When I tried to use in the nat/PREROUTING it messes up the routing cache even if the rule didn't matched at all. [..] If I remove the --limit-iface-in from the non-working scenario, so just use the -m addrtype --dst-type LOCAL it works! This happens when LOCAL type matching is requested with --limit-iface-in, and the default ipv6 route is via the interface the packet we test arrived on. Because xt_addrtype uses ip6_route_output, the ipv6 routing implementation creates an unwanted cached entry, and the packet won't make it to the real/expected destination. Silently ignoring --limit-iface-in makes the routing work but it breaks rule matching (--dst-type LOCAL with limit-iface-in is supposed to only match if the dst address is configured on the incoming interface; without --limit-iface-in it will match if the address is reachable via lo). The test should call ipv6_chk_addr() instead. However, this would add a link-time dependency on ipv6. There are two possible solutions: 1) Revert the commit that moved ipt_addrtype to xt_addrtype, and put ipv6 specific code into ip6t_addrtype. 2) add new "nf_ipv6_ops" struct to register pointers to ipv6 functions. While the former might seem preferable, Pablo pointed out that there are more xt modules with link-time dependeny issues regarding ipv6, so lets go for 2).
